Inside a building in the heart of Seoul, in what's called the forest of buildings.
Someone was sitting in the president's office on the upper floors of the Grim Reaper Guild, known to be the highest-ranking guild.
With blonde hair tied cutely in a ponytail and a playful, youthful face, it was Yoon Seung-ah.
The master of the Hunter Guild was wearing a dress open on both sides, legs crossed, sipping organic mint tea.
Enjoying a rare moment of leisure, she was looking down from the high-rise building.
Watching the tiny people and cars moving like toys, she felt time passing quickly.
"Come in."
Without turning around, she answered the knock, and a woman in a black suit entered the president's office.
"I have a report for you."
Jia Unnie bowed respectfully to Yoon Seung-ah and began her report.
Anyone could see that Yoon Seung-ah looked younger than Jia Unnie, but Yoon Seung-ah was almost twice her age.
"What, that geezer went to the Korea Academy?"
"Yes. It has been reported that he visited today."
"And he went to Class A of the first year?"
"That's correct."
"If that old man is having fun, I'm going too!"
Hearing about Choi Tae-soo's visit, Yoon Seung-ah slammed her desk and complained.
Jia Unnie sighed at the sight.
It was against the rules for a guild to contact first-year Academy students.
This provision was created to prevent students with insufficient information from being swayed by guilds, and Yoon Seung-ah, the master of the Grim Reaper Guild, was also affected by this rule.
"Choi Tae-soo-nim is active alone, so..."
Choi Tae-soo was one of the Hunters who worked alone without belonging to a guild.
"What kind of crap is that! That geezer is the master of a major guild!"
"Choi Tae-soo-nim doesn't interfere with guild matters..."
"Enough, our Jia Unnie is great, but she's no fun."
"So, you're going to meet rookies again?"
Choi Tae-soo had visited the Academy before, so it wasn't anything new.
Occasionally, if there were rookies he liked, he would visit the Academy to see them with his own eyes, which wasn't uncommon.
"Did he go because of our Seo-ah? Or..."
Yoon Seung-ah was constantly checking the grades of those who caught her eye in order to scout good talent.
She had 미리 íì í´ëê³ information on the top-ranking students, but there was a problem in checking the information of all the students.
"So, checking directly is the most reliable."
There were cases where grades suddenly improved from low, and cases where good grades were maintained and then dropped.
"Was it Kim Si-woo? The guy who beat our Seo-ah?"
"Yes, that's correct."
"What's his ranking?"
"He's 932nd."
"Hmm... He's worthless trash."
It was hard to find people who met her standards even within the top 100, so a student outside of 900th place, not even 500th, was not worth mentioning.
"But when you see him fight, he seems to have a sense for combat... And he has the ability that Kim Tae-hwan had, right?"
"Yes, that's correct."
"And when I saw him before, his Mana was C-rank? Was that what you said?"
"That's my feeling."
"And recently, he seems to be close to our Seo-ah..."
The first male friend of her lovely daughter, whom she wouldn't trade for the world. It would be a lie if she said it wasn't bothering her.
"Shall I investigate further?"
"Then Seo-ah will get mad at me..."
She wanted to make sure whether he was a benefit or a harm to her daughter, but she remembered Seo-ah's reaction when she was caught digging into him.
"That was the first time she was so angry..."
It was the first time Seo-ah, who had always done as she was told without complaint, had gotten angry. She said she wouldn't even see her face if she did it again, and she was worried about that, so she hesitated.
"Call Choi Tae-soo, will you?"
"To Choi Tae-soo-nim?"
"The old man's eyes will be accurate, and this is a chance for our Seo-ah to experience what overwhelming power is."
"Understood."

Before the sparring practice with Choi Tae-soo, they were given about 30 minutes of free time.
It was time for the students to prepare for the sparring, to change into combat uniforms, to groom their combat equipment, and to prepare their minds.
From the Academy's point of view, it was time for the medical staff and instructors to prepare for any possible accidents.
Min-ji had gone ahead with her friends to wear full parts, thinking of preparing in earnest, and I was currently spending time in a suitable warehouse.
"Seo-ah, don't you have to prepare for battle?"
"Yeah..."
My 모ìµì´ ë¹ì³ ë³´ìë¤ was reflected in her expressionless eyes. Seo-ah, who now comes into my arms as if it were natural.
Maybe because she's smaller than Min-ji, it wasn't bad that she fit perfectly in my arms.
"I want to kiss..."
Upon receiving Seo-ah's bold request, the corners of my mouth naturally moved. She must have liked the kiss quite a bit.
It was completely different from Min-ji, who refused even light skinship inside the Academy.
"What are you going to do if someone finds out?"
The flow of Mana was felt around Seo-ah. The energy that swept through my whole body began to íìí기 someone around.
"No one... is there."
Hearing Seo-ah's answer, I pulled Seo-ah closer. Like a magnet, Seo-ah came closer without any resistance, and I lightly kissed her lips.
A short kiss commonly called a bird kiss.
Seo-ah's mouth was already open and her eyes were tightly closed, as if she was thinking of kissing in earnest.
She's as lovely and cute as Min-ji.
"...?"
As time passed, her closed eyes opened. And then I saw Seo-ah glaring at me with a pouty expression.
Looking at that 모ìµ, I feel like teasing her.
A bird kiss is still a kiss.
"We kissed."
"This isn't the way of adults..."
It seems that it was not enough for Seo-ah.
"Shall we do it properly then?"
"Yeah..."
Seo-ah's face was slightly flushed, and seeing that 모ìµ, a happy smile appeared.
I put my hand on the back of Seo-ah's neck. I moved my hand, feeling the cool and soft touch of her nape.
Seo-ah flinched every time I touched her nape.
'Is it an erogenous zone?'
Out of curiosity, I scanned Seo-ah's body with the eyes of an Incubus. Her nape was a slightly light pink color.
There were no other parts marked in pink.
'Does she not have an erogenous zone?'
Even if it wasn't an erogenous zone, sensitive areas looked light pink.
Then why is there only such a mark on the back of Seo-ah's neck?
When I lowered my gaze, I couldn't find anything other than a very faint pink color on her lower abdomen.
Does the fact that it's not marked mean she doesn't have an erogenous zone?
'Then... could it be that she's frigid?'
"Hurry..."
Seo-ah started urging me when my hand stopped.
I have to focus on Seo-ah in front of me now.
Holding her nape, I pulled her into my arms more boldly than before.
Embracing Seo-ah, who fit perfectly in my arms, I started a deep kiss.
Moist and cool touch, passing through Seo-ah's mouth, which was now open as if it were natural, her tongue greeted me.
__Chuup.. Chuup..
A deep kiss where each other's saliva mixed, Seo-ah's breath tickled my philtrum, as if she hadn't forgotten to breathe now.
__Jjook.. Jjook.. Chuup..
In the humid and hot air of summer, I reflexively hugged her to feel Seo-ah's cold body temperature more.
I forgot that it was a hot summer and ííë¤ Seo-ah's mouth.
Seo-ah's cool mouth gradually began to heat up with my heat.
When each other's lips parted, a thick line was created.
"Haa... Haa..."
"Shall we go now?"
There was still time, but it wouldn't be good to leave the ì리 for too long.
The moment I tried to get up, Seo-ah's small hand grabbed my ì·ê¹.
"Just a little more..."
"Okay."
[ Yoon Seo-ah's favorability has increased. ]
Our kiss continued until Min-ji contacted us.

"Everyone seems to be ready."
Choi Tae-soo checked the students who were looking at him with a relaxed expression.
'Is that child Seung-ah's daughter?'
The first thing that caught his eye was Yoon Seo-ah, who had a more intense energy than any other student.
He had already heard about Yoon Seo-ah before.
She had outstanding qualities that would allow her to work as an active Hunter right away, and she was the daughter that Yoon Seung-ah ìëíë so much.
Choi Tae-soo received a call from Yoon Seung-ah during the preparation time.
The content of the call was to not go easy on her daughter and to give her a scolding.
'Seung-ah is ëì íì§ in this regard.'
The fact that she was evaluated as a prospective S-Rank Hunter wasn't just talk, she was definitely qualitatively different from other students.
The more that happens, the more important the experience of defeat is.
The more someone who has never been defeated and has always been ì¹ì¹ì¥êµ¬íë, the less resistant they are to defeat.
He had heard that she had been defeated absurdly before, but looking at the contents of the match, it was hard to see it as a defeat.
Yoon Seung-ah must have thought that in order not to become a frog trapped in a well, she needed to give her an experience of how wide the world is.
"I'll tell you in advance."
Recently, he heard that sparring was conducted using a shield to ensure the safety of the students.
It can prevent accidents that occur by mistake, and since the worry about injuries disappears, they may be able to fight more actively.
"This sparring will be conducted without a shield."
However, you cannot develop ì¤ì experience behind a shield.
Even in Choi Tae-soo's time, getting hurt during sparring was very common.
The sense of crisis that he could die during sparring became the driving force for his growth.
'There's no such thing these days.'
Because they fight more actively because there is a shield, it is fun to watch, but it is not a good way to learn how to overcome pressure.
No matter how careful you are, as long as you are a Hunter, a situation may come where you may die.
Hunters who have not experienced it in advance will collapse 100 out of 100 times when such a situation arises.
"So, you're saying that you could suffer serious injuries such as broken arms and legs."
Everyone flinched at Choi Tae-soo's words, as if they were nervous. Some of them were still burning with fighting spirit.
'Is that child Kim Si-woo that Seung-ah was talking about? That child is Kang Min-ji...'
Choi Tae-soo laughed as he watched them. He liked the attitude of not being afraid even in front of him.
He said that, but he was just going to take care of them lightly enough to lose consciousness.
"But you don't have to worry about the injured, I and the instructors will take responsibility and treat you."
Choi Tae-soo took out the elixir from his arms.
He was going to make sure that there would be no disadvantages in the semester due to sparring with him.
"I'll make sure you can move perfectly fine tomorrow, even if you don't today."
Choi Tae-soo's voice changed heavily.
"So, let the students who don't want to do it speak up now."
He thought that many people would drop out, but no one dropped out.
"Then I'll assume you've agreed. Then everyone attack at once."
Choi Tae-soo was standing bare-handed without wearing any equipment, and the students were fully armed with swords and shields to battle suits.
"Um... Everyone? Even so..."
Hearing those words, Choi Tae-soo laughed loudly.
"I'm sorry to say this to you, but do you think it will make a difference whether there are 100 or 1,000 brats like you?"
Who dares to worry about whom?
Choi Tae-soo's face twisted fiercely.
"Shut up and attack, you brats."
